Bad Magick

Godsmack

Does it feel so bad when you're taking a drag
and when you're looking at the world through tired eyes?
When you stare at it dead and you're giving it head
and all those things you say you love never come alive

If it feels so bad
Bad magick playing off of me
It feels so bad
Oh no, I don't want to be your friend
It feels so bad
Bad magick laying into me
It feels so bad
Oh no, I don't want to hear it again

When you get so high that you're wanting to
die but everything around you is turning green
When you get so low and I know you've been
feeling like a dried out leaf in a summer breeze
I don't like it!

If it feels so bad
Bad magick playing off of me
It feels so bad
Oh no, I don't want to be your friend
It feels so bad
Bad magick laying into me
It feels so bad
Oh no, I don't want to hear it again

I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
Yeah (x3)

I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
Yeah, yeah

I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
Yeah

I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back bitch

Back, back, get back on track and get off of my back
I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
Yeah
I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back

If it feels so bad
Bad magick playing off of me
It feels so bad
Oh no, I don't want to be your friend
It feels so bad
Bad magick laying into me
It feels so bad
Oh no, I don't want to hear it again

I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
Yeah
I'm getting back, get back on track, get off of my back
I'm getting back, get back on track

Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
